What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 7 May 2025

Pupils appointed as nature champions ensure that the planters are brimming with flowers and vegetables. The school is ambitious for its pupils. There is a keen desire for all pupils to enjoy their time in class. Learning is purposeful and staff support pupils to succeed. Pupils produce beautiful artwork that adorns the display boards. They are inquisitive and readily talk about what they learn. As a result, pupils achieve well across a broad range of subjects. Pupils behave exceptionally well. They are respectful and kind. Playtimes are joyful and active. Pupils relish playing with one another. Pupils appointed as sports leaders encourage active games at playtime. Older pupils mix with younger pupils.

What the school should improve
- Some pupils do not apply the grammar, punctuation and spelling skills that they have learned when writing across the curriculum. This means that the quality of pupils' writing in some subjects is too varied. The school should ensure that pupils are enabled to apply their writing skills consistently well when writing across different subjects.
- The school's approach to how learning should be adapted for pupils with SEND is not yet consistently applied across all subjects. This means that some pupils with SEND do not secure their understanding of the key vocabulary outlined in the school's curriculum. Where this is the case, the school should ensure that staff are able to apply these strategies effectively so that pupils gain the important knowledge needed.
